I have been waiting for this to come out since it was announced! To be honest, I was hesitant about Gal Gadot playing Diana Prince, only because in my mind, Wonder Woman is Lynda Carter (see I am old school like that). Minor Spoilers ahead!

I promise you, I walked out of the theater tonight, invigorated and motivated. Oh, and maybe added another woman celebrity to my woman crush list (it’s okay – we can look up to other women). It should be noted that  Gal did a good deal of her own freaking stunts in this movie. So, BAD A*** is an understatement.

I’m glad that this movie gave us the back story to Wonder Woman. I find it important to connect with the character, especially in a “comic” type film. How else do you grasp the audience. I liked learning about her “heritage” and that, she really was a princess, shielded from the ‘bad world.’ I mean, why do you think everyone loves Captain America (besides the fact that he is hot – per the actor)? It’s because we saw him from the beginning. The same with Iron Man (Yes – yes I am making Marvel references in a DC Movie review), and the same with Batman. You connected with the hero, heroine, the character.

I want you guys to know, I HONESTLY did not like Gal as Wonder Woman, initially. I mean, I watched her in F&F and was like…”meh”. She’s cute, but where is the badassery? In my mind, I didn’t have an alternate, but I didn’t want it to be her. When I watched her in Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, I was still skeptical. So, I instagram stalked her for a few days (recently). Yea, I’m #TeamGal.

It’s full of action from the get go. The action sequences were well choreographed. Like, you want to be there to train to be an Amazon Warrior too. Diana’s story is great. I do like how her mother told her that she would never yield the “GodKiller” sword. Then it’s like she made it her life mission. Diana is super doe-eyed after meeting Steve Trevor (Chris Pine) and his mission to try to end the war. When I say doe-eyed, I mean naive.

When she finally gets to the front line. It goes down hard. I mean, Diana brought her A-Game and kicked some butt! Steve and the others in the trenches back her up. It shows the side of mankind can come together to work as one to defeat a common enemy.

The villain, is actually unlikely. You will be surprised. It took me a bit to figure out Diana’s heritage, but it came together from that point. I think that Wonder Woman was well portrayed as an independent woman who can think for herself. Maybe she was the pioneer for feminism, but is that what the movie is about? No. It is about a coming of age young woman who seeks to make the world a better place by getting rid of the evil that is corrupting the mind of mankind. (and breathe), however, it got real so fast!

Chris Pine, I mean, come on. Who doesn’t love him? and if you don’t move on. His character, Steve Trevor, is such a realist. He kept Diana grounded, they were a good duo. He did believe in her. The last fight scene got me something fierce.
However, when you watch it, think about who the hero really is. Is it Diana or is it Steve?

Published

on

 in Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con, Rick Riordan and Disney+ revealed that Daniel Diemer (“Under the Bridge”) will star as fan-favorite cyclops “Tyson” in the epic adventure series “Percy Jackson and the Olympians.” Diemer joins Walker Scobell (Percy Jackson), Leah Sava Jeffries (Annabeth Chase) and Aryan Simhadri (Grover Underwood) as a series regular. The Disney+ Original series from Disney Branded Television and 20th Television will start filming its second season next week in Vancouver.

Season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is based on the second installment of Disney Hyperion’s best-selling book series titled “The Sea of Monsters” by award-winning author Rick Riordan. In the new season, Percy Jackson returns to Camp Half-Blood one year later to find his world turned upside down. His friendship with Annabeth is changing, he learns he has a cyclops for a brother, Grover has gone missing, and camp is under siege from the forces of Kronos. Percy’s journey to set things right will take him off the map and into the deadly Sea of Monsters, where a secret fate awaits the son of Poseidon.

Diemer stars as Tyson – a young Cyclops who grew up all alone on the streets, and finds it difficult to survive in the human world.  Shy and awkward, with a heart almost as big as he is, Tyson soon discovers that Poseidon is his father, which means Percy Jackson is his half-brother… and that Tyson may have finally found a home. 

Diemer recently starred in the Hulu limited series “Under the Bridge” based off the critically acclaimed book of the same name and a tragic true story of a missing teen girl in Vancouver in 1997. He will next star in the indie “Thug” opposite Liam Neeson and Ron Perlman for director Hans Petter Moland. Daniel was recently seen as the lead in the indie “Supercell” opposite Alec Baldwin and Skeet Ulrich and the lead in the film “Little Brother” opposite Phil Ettinger and JK Simmons. Daniel can also be seen in the Netflix series “The Midnight Club” and recently starred as the male lead in the breakout hit Netflix feature “The Half Of It” from producer Anthony Bregman and director Alice Wu. He is a graduate of Victoria Academy of Dramatic Arts in Vancouver.

Created by Rick Riordan and Jonathan E. Steinberg, season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is executive produced by Steinberg and Dan Shotz alongside Rick Riordan, Rebecca Riordan, Craig Silverstein, The Gotham Group’s Ellen Goldsmith-Vein, Bert Salke, The Gotham Group’s Jeremy Bell and D.J.
